2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Petrol · KJ57 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-24 at 129,811 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The prior test on 2025-04-23 at 129,810 miles failed but also showed no defects. This pattern of passing and failing without recorded issues suggests the car has maintained roadworthiness, though the lack of defect details limits insight into underlying mechanical health. The absence of critical failures in recent tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant closer scrutiny of high-mileage components. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with 125,131 miles recorded in 2023, rising to 127,710 by 2024, and 129,811 by 2025. These increments align with the model’s typical annual average of ~6,800 miles, reflecting steady but not excessive wear. However, the repetition of identical mileage in consecutive tests (e.g., 127,710 miles for both pass and fail in 2024) raises questions about data accuracy or potential testing anomalies. The sparse defect reporting in all entries means the vehicle’s mechanical state remains partially obscured, requiring in-person inspection to confirm integrity. No structural or mechanical defects were flagged in the MOT history, but the car’s 19-year age and high mileage necessitate verification of suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions. Inspect for worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common in older vehicles. Check brake discs for warping and corrosion in underbody panels, as these issues may not trigger MOT failures but impact safety and longevity. The absence of recorded problems is reassuring, but thorough pre-purchase checks remain essential to address potential hidden wear.
